Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to medicine and more specifically to devices for treatment of sexual impotence in human males.
  • One state-of-the-art device for treatment of sexual impotence in males (SU, A, 178,044) is known to comprise two rods adjacent to each other and coated with a common elastic sheathing.
  • the distal ends of the rods terminate in arcuate members following the shape of the penile coronary sulcus and encompassing the glans penis on its proximal side with segments which form, when turned alongside with the adjustable portion, a support ring resting against the pubis.
  • a disadvantage of said device resides in the fact that it is impossible to adjust the degree of the glans penis compression depending on the degree of true penile erection in the course of sexual intercourse, as well as in sophisticated individual fitting-up of the device.
  • the known device provides for graduated compression of the glans penis by the retainer lugs depending on the degree of penile erection which precludes painful sensations resulting from overcompression of the glans of an erect penis in the case of a full erection, whereby there is created an effect of freedom from any auxiliary appliances or aid devices.
  • said known device fails to provide maximum reliability of the glans penis fixation, since the fittings of the front retainer have a round cross-section, whereby its area of adherence to the penis is minimal and the elastic sheathing is liable to occur which might result in the glans penis escaping from the closed-up retainer.
  • Another disadvantage inherent in the known device for treatment of sexual impotence in males resides in its being incapable of providing maximally accurate individual fitting-up of the device, i.e., the bracer can be adjusted for a smaller length only by cutting off an excess portion, which precludes restoration of the original bracer length in the case of an error.
  • a primary fitting-up of the device carried out on a non-erect penis might happen inadequately accurate when true erection of the penis occurs in the course of a sexual act.
  • adjustment is performed by diminishing the length of the elastic element, which fails to provide a correct fitting-up and causes a discomforting sensation during the sexual intercourse, thereby affecting the efficiency of the treatment.
  • a round cross-section of the glans penis retainer components might likewise inflict discomfort upon the patient in the course of penile erection due to a specific pressure exerted upon the penile tissues in the region of the sulcus of the penile corona.
  • the eyelet secured at the end of the elastic member and made of an inelastic material offers additional discomfort for both of the partners of a sexual intercourse.
  • a device comprising parallel rods movably interconnected with a possibility of pivoting around their axes, each of the rods being connected to one of the ends of the arcuate members that form the glans penis retainer, the control retainer and the penile base retainer.
  • the free ends of the arcuate members of the penile base retainer are interconnected through an elastic member having an eyelet adapted to interact with the hook secured on the free end of one of the arcuate members of the penile base retainer.
  • the elastic member has a mechanism for reversible adjustment of the degree of its tension
  • the eyelet is made of the same material as the elastic member
  • the arcuate members of the retainer are shaped as curved plates.
  • Such a construction arrangement of the device enables one to attain higher efficiency of treatment due to a possibility of accurately adjusting the degree of tension of the elastic member of the penile base retainer, a reduced specific pressure on the tissues of the penile corona sulcus, and increased reliability of fixation of the glans penis.
  • the mechanism of reversible adjustment be made as spheroid thickenings on the elastic member, which are adapted to interact with a lock situated at the free end of the other arcuate member of the penile base retainer and made as two holes interconnected through a recess, the diameter of one of said holes exceeding the diameter of the spheroid thickenings, and that of the other hole being smaller than the diameter of the thickenings.
  • Such an embodiment of the reversible adjustment mechanism provides an adequately accurate and quick adjustment of the degree of tension of the elastic member being in fact a simple construction arrangement.
  • the device for treatment of sexual impotence in human males comprises two parallel rods 1 made of a metal wire and installed with a possibility of pivoting around their axes in sleeves 2.
  • One of the ends of the rods 1 is connected to the ends of an arcuate member 3 which is made as a plate curved to suit the shape of the penile corona sulcus.
  • Both of the arcuate members 3 in combination form a retainer 4 of the glans penis.
  • the rods 1 are connected to arcuate members 5 which are curved into a loop whose semiarcs encompass the penis circumferentially to form a control retainer 6.
  • each rod 1 is connected respectively to the ends of arcuate members 7,8 which form, together with an elastic member 9 made of rubber, a penile base retainer 10.
  • the free end of the arcuate member 7 has a hook 11 adapted to interact with the hole of an eyelet 12 provided at one of the ends of the elastic member 9.
  • the eyelet 12 is made integral with the elastic member 9 and has a holder 13.
  • Spheroid thickenings 14 are provided at the other end of the elastic member 9 and adapted to interact with a lock 15 located at the free end of the arcuate member 8.
  • the lock 15 is made as two holes 16, 17 interconnected through a recess 18.
  • the diameter of the hole 16 exceeds that of the spheroid thickening 14 of elastic member 9, whereas the diameter of the hole 17 is smaller than the diameter of said thickening.
  • the surfaces of the metallic components 1,2, 3, 4, 5, 7, and 8 are enclosed in an elastic sheathing.
  • the device of the invention functions as follows.
  • the device is fitted over a non-erect penis.
  • the retainer 4 encompasses the penile corona sulcus, the control retainer 6 does so with the middle penile portion, while the penile base retainer 10 encompasses the radix penis behind the scrotum at the pubic bone through its arcuate members 7, 8 and the elastic member 9.
  • the eyelet 12 of the elastic member 9 is fitted, by the holder 13, onto the hook 11 of the arcuate element 7 and the degree of tension of the elastic member 9 is adjusted by selecting the appropriate spheroid thickening 14 engaged in the lock 15.
  • the spheroid thickening 14 is fixed in place in the lock 15 as follows: the end of the elastic member 9 is inserted into the larger hole 16 at the level of the preselected spheroid thickening 14 and is moved along the recess 18 into the smaller hole 17, which holds the spheroid thickening 14 in position.
  • the elastic member 9 is to be withdrawn in the reversed order, whereupon said member is either shortened or lengthened by selecting and fixing another spheroid thickening 14.
  • the penis assumes the position enabling the patient to perform a sexual intercourse without any discomforting sensation for either partner.
  • the penis When true erection occurs during the sexual intercourse, the penis is enlarged diametrically and exerts pressure on the arcs of the retainer 6 (in the direction of the arrows a--a), which results in automatic opening, by virtue of pivoting the rods 1 around their axis, of the arcs 3 of the glans penis retainer 4 (in the direction of the arrows a--a), thus ensuring unobstructed enlargement of the penis to its natural erect size (both for length and diameter) without offering any discomfort for the male partner.
  • the elastic member 9 of the penile base retainer 10 When the degree of the penile erection relaxes during the sexual intercourse due to the fact that when fitted over the penis the elastic member 9 of the penile base retainer 10 is in somewhat stretched state, the elastic member causes the glans penis retainer 4, the control retainer 6, and the penile base retainer 10 to return to the original state synchronously, thus holding the penis in the erect position and enabling one to continue the sexual act.
  • the same functional mechanism of the device makes continuation of the sexual intercourse possible in the case of premature ejaculation.
  • the device operates on the feedback principle due to the provision of the retainer 6, which monitors the degree of dilation of the corpora cavernosa of the penis, thus establishing automatically the favourable conditions of enlarging the penis both in length and diameter during true erection occuring in the course of a sexual act and offering no discomfort either for the male or female partner.
  • This in turn creates an effect of absence of a sex aid device.
  • the device holds the penis in position when the effect thereof is weakened in the course of the sexual act or after premature ejaculation, as well as renders a sexual intercourse practicable even in cases where the patient is completely devoid of an efficient function.
  • the device When correctly fitted-up to a given patient, the device enables him to enjoy harmonious intimacy practically whenever necessary.
  • the invention disclosed herein can find application in treatment of sexual impotence in males predominantly of the functional (psychogenic) and functional-organic origin.
